Chapter heading page style for LaTeX

In the LaTeX output we override the plain page style:

    % plain page style for part and chapter, which call \thispagestyle{plain}
    \renewpagestyle{plain}{\sethead[\thepage{}][][]
                                 {}{}{\thepage{}}}

- so that we have page numbers on chapter pages.

I feel that we should make the LaTeX output straightforward and
idiomatic to make it easier for users to hack the output to their
tastes, rather than trying to match the texinfo.tex output 
closely.  (This is the same philosophy that we have for the HTML output.)

If we add a lot of our own code to the preamble then it becomes intimidating
and off-putting - users will feel that it is something that they shouldn't
be touching.

What are your thoughts on removing this code?
